There have appeared a few chat threads discussing wheelspin and motor burnout. These nattering nabobs of negativism have the strongly held opinion that if the wheels can't spin you'll soon see smoke. And since they think BULLFROG SNOT won't allow the wheels to break loose, it should be shunned.
Well ..... they've not used BULLFROG SNOT have they? In most cases BULLFROG SNOT improves pulling power by 2X, often more. But there are limits to the miracles it will do. It will slip and allow wheelspin. Oh, yes it will. On cold days in the trainroom, we'll smack the throttle and do a 'burnout' to warm up the SNOT and make it grippy. When you have one car too many, you'll find the limit.
So go ahead and add weights. Have fun. Knock your self out. Be among the very last of the Luddites to discover BULLFROG SNOT. The rest of the world is passing you by. On a hill. With a long train.
